Power and Responsibility

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Father of Pentacles; from the Pictish Oracle, the Arch:

          Antler growth in a deer depends on age, good nutrition and genetics. This buck looks like he's been blessed with all three. The Father of Pentacles is all about stability, whether it is providing for his family or keeping his community safe. He's a savvy entrepreneur who will investigate an opportunity and take a risk if the odds are good. Though he is known to be generous, he is no one's enabler.
          Eleven Pictish stones have been identified with an arch, each one slightly different than another. This symbol has been suggested to be a bridge, rainbow or torc (neck ring), but is likely not a horseshoe since there is no evidence that Pictish horses were shod. Two of the keywords give for this symbol are 'oath' and 'status' (associated with a torc). Together with the Father of Pentacles, it suggests a responsibility to help guide and nurture others who are less fortunate. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "I believe in power; but I believe that responsibility should go with power."

Every man must decide whether he will walk in the creative light of altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness.  This is the judgment.  Life’s persistent and most urgent question is “What are you doing for others?” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
